165 episodes - English - Latest episode: 1 day ago - ★★★★★ - 30 ratings

Two idiots and their much more intelligent guests take on classic TV (mostly the Andy Griffith Show) to see the weird messages they broadcast into American homes, and assess what holds up and what caused permanent damage to the psyche of an entire generation.

Join hosts Marty Schneider and Dan Ludwig as they descend into the madness of Boomer television, and occasionally break down their own childhood television addictions.

135: The Crimes Of Fife

April 18, 2024 11:50 - 1 hour - 80.6 MB

It's our big send-off to Don Knotts (bigger than what the Andy Griffith show did anyway) and we "celebrate" by counting down Barney Fife's biggest crimes against humanity. Then we cover more of Don Knotts' film career, including "The Ghost and Mr. Chicken" and "The Reluctant Astronaut", a film which is in high contention for "most unfortunate release date timing."

January 04, 2024 05:20 - 1 hour - 89.5 MB

December 29, 2022 12:30 - 1 hour - 65.9 MB

Okay look let me tell you up front: This episode spends a LOT of time talking about Marty's scrotum. And then it spends even more time talking about the Dukes of Hazzard. You can decide which is more unpleasant. It's the Duke boys and their new friend Mason Dixon, P.I. No... no that can't be right. They seriously named the guy "Mason Dixon?"

November 22, 2022 13:25 - 1 hour - 79.2 MB

Our exploration of failed spinoffs continues as we look into a Golden Girls spinoff that actually did make it to the air... kind of! Behold the shockingly mean sitcom EMPTY NEST, which is sort of a spinoff of Golden Girls but not really because THAT pilot was totally different and also sucked, but in a totally different way than how this show sucks. Also Full house is involved and Hollywood legend Rita Moreno is deeply disrespected.

October 13, 2022 19:34 - 58 minutes - 53.9 MB

Our trip through TV Shows that never were continues, as we briefly step into the seedy criminal monster mash of SUPERNATURAL: BLOODLINES, a proposed spinoff of the CW hit that launched a million gross fanfics. Using the very original idea of a turf war between monsters, Bloodlines imagines a Chicago where rich shapeshifters feud with handsome werewolves, and also a Chicago where Sam and Dean Wichester just sorta... stop in for lunch.

Turns out, there's a good reason why TV seasons aren't 32 episodes long anymore, and that's because you run out of plots REAL FAST. These episodes aren't technically reruns, but pretty darn close.

This episode was recorded on December 28th.

In fact, we talk about The Andy Griffith Show, cumulatively, for about 18 minutes on this one. That's being generous. What do we talk about instead?

We're back for another trip to 60s TV hell, and we're taking y'all to Marty's Comix Korner! We'll also discuss Dan's midnight snacking habits and learn who the scrub in "No Scrubs" was. Also at some point we'll do Andy Griffith Show Season 04, Ep 22 "Andy's Vacation" which has a special surprise place in Breaking Mayberry lore, but we'll get to that when we get to it.
